Attention, Pretty Little Liars fans! Sara Shepard, author of the books on which the show is based, has a new series coming out, and it sounds ~*sCaNdaLoUs*~. The book, titled The Perfectionists, is set to debut in October, and according to MTV, follows a group of girls trying to get revenge on a popular mean guy who ends up dead before they have the chance. I believe it was Charles Dickens who said, "If a teen doesn't get murdered in the first few chapters, it's not really a book."

Shepard described the characters as being "a lot darker" than the ladies of Rosewood, and said, "There's more just really scary stuff going on just right from the get-go." Yes, that sounds about right. MTV has an excerpt of the first book, which includes the sentence "And someone's about to get burned" in the third paragraph. Never change, Sara Shepard. Never change.
